"Now, -about that code bell system in your Tacoma office," asked Reames, taking up another phase of the ex amlnation - "Waa your stenographer telling tbe truth when she told vividly about Miller rushing In when you pushed ths bell, and telling before a prospective applicant about bow satis fied he was with being a purchaser?" She was telling an untruth Logan replied. ."She was attending to insur ance business, and didn't have any thing to do with the land locations." He said he had written Watke a glowing letter, telling of the advant ages of the state and the land loca tions, because he happened to be all out of literature at that time. "Didn't you know In all the time you were explaining tfbout this case to ap plicants that B. D. Townsend was ap pointed especially to handle the Ore gon & California land grant case for the government?" again asked Mr. Reames. Fifteen minutes later, after Loran ' had made evasive explanations and Reames had asked exactly the same question six times, Reames managed to draw rron the witness a half if flrmatlvs answer to the effect that he knew someone had been appointed ' to handle the case, and he thought Town- send was tne man. , " "I didn't bother with names. There were too many of them. I Just named the offices," Logan explained. Had Saver Seen Asked. Logan was then aaked If he had ever told these applicants that Minard was not the attorney for the Oregon & Call- rornia railway. Ten minutes more of questioning and -evasive answers and then Mr. Reames managed to elicit the reply from Logan that he didn't think any of these people had ever asked hi in about that point- Explaining eloquently, how the peo ple of Oregon had never gotten their just dues with regard to the division of-the railroad lands, be accused the Southern Pacific of having "a power ful organ In this city, the Portland Oregonian, that has been educating the people adversely to the real pur poses of ths grant," ! "How about The Journal? Has it been denying Oregon people Justice Is j the same way? pursued Mr. Reames, "Well, I don't know about The Jour nal; It hasn't . displayed so much ani mosity," was the reply-' - Logan denied, that he had ever had anything 'to ; do" with; ' :a' ' corporation' known as the Oregon 4 Timber Lands company, while he was In California. Then Mr, Reames produced a card with . Logan named on lt as coast manager. Logan -looked at it an -Instant, and then denied ever i having; printed the card or" having anything to. do with It. Towards t the last Logan, made such long-replies that Judge Bean said: i , Judge Bean Cautions Witness. ' I "you ' will . save tlm by; Answering these questions correctly. : f 11 ; am answering them correctly," protested the? witness. - : --v "No you are not. . You axe persist ently evading," snapped back the court. Giving explanations about Stafford, the San Francisco hauff eur, who ' tea-: titled against i him last week,- Logan branded that witness as a prevaricator in every statement that he made, I didn't talk, to ray chauffeur on business matters .because he. was not mentally. "capable,", , Logan asserted, riie sat in the front seat and attended to his own business.
